Schoolboy among three arrested over drugs offences

The sixteen-year-old was questioned along with two men after wraps of crack cocaine were discovered.

An incapcitation device was also recovered and all three suspects were released under investigation.

Police entered a property in Queen's Road for a welfare visit on Thursday and discovered the three people inside.

Two men, 20 and 39, both of no fixed address were arrested on suspicion to conspire to supply a class A controlled drug (crack cocaine) and possession of a weapon for the discharge of a noxious liquid, gas or electrical incapacitation device.

A 16-year-old boy from Worthing was arrested on suspicion of the same two offences and theft from the person of another.
